Archive for the ‘Mercury Monterey S-55’ tag

For its final year, the S-55 became a performance package on the Monterey rather than a model of its own, though it still worked the 345hp 428 into the mid-size full-size chassis. Combined with the styling borrowed from FoMoCo’s senior marque, it’s as close as one could get to a Lincoln muscle car at the time. This 1967 Mercury Monterey S-55 for sale on Hemmings.com looks sweet in the Lime Frost Metallic and appears in remarkably clean condition. From the seller’s description:
